27. Now when the fame of his holiness was noised abroad, from far and
wide and from every quarter good men came together to him, and Saint
Kiaranus made them his monks. And many alms, in respect of various
matters, would be given to Saint Kiaranus and to his people by the
Faithful. But a certain presbyter, by name Daniel, who owned Inis
Angin, inspired by the devil's envy, set about expelling Saint
Kyaranus with his followers by force from the island. But Saint
Kiaranus, wishing to benefit his persecutor, sent him by faithful
messengers a royal gift which had been given him in alms, namely a
golden _antilum_, well adorned. When the presbyter saw it, at first he
refused to accept it; but afterwards, on the persuasion of trustworthy
men, he received it gratefully. And presbyter Daniel, filled with the
grace of God, came and gifted Inis Angin which was in his possession,
to God and to Saint Kiaranus for ever.
